Kurt Lee Gain saved two boys from drowning, Anchorage, Alaska, September 8, 1984. David J. Stokes, 11, and his brothers Dathon T., 5, and Daniel S., 8, were with their father and two others in a canoe on Jewel Lake when the canoe capsized about 170 feet from the bank, throwing them into the cold water. From the bank, Gain, 18, swam out to the canoe, which he tried without success to right. He then grabbed two of the boys and began to swim with them to the bank. En route, he became numb and tired and called out for help, then touched bottom and waded the remainder of the way. Gain and both boys were treated at a hospital for exposure, and they recovered. 59972-6974
